Default LX logger issues after PF install ... related?


My LX7007's GPS receiver is at the fore end of the instrument compartment, next to the air vent; the PF core is immediately aft thereof; the ADS-B antenna is mounted on the side of the K6 box about 8 inches from the GPS antenna.

Could my LX's GPS be having interference issues?

From the Brick Manual - "If more than one GPS antenna is present in the aircraft, it is recommended that they are at least 1ft apart; the same holds for separation from all other BRICK antennas."

I have a Brick, connected to a LX7007 and Android phone (Dell Streak - XC Soar) through a IOIO card; my LX GPS mouse is at the front of the SZD-55 glareshield, the PF GPS mouse (same mouse, BTW) is at the rear of the glareshield; that puts them 16" centre-centre. I have no problems with my installation going flying while on the ground. I removed the magnets, since they're quite powerful and really did a job on my compass.
